The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on Thursday rejected the verdict of the election petitions tribunal.
A five-member panel of the presidential election court headed by Justice Haruna Tsammani had on Wednesday night dismissed the petitions filed by Obi and his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Atiku Abubakar, against the outcome of the election for lack of merit.
Tsammani, who read the judgement, held that the duo did not successfully prove the allegations of fraud, non-compliance with the electoral act, and indeed all the grounds in their petition challenging President Bola Tinubu’s victory in the election.
